Setting Your Financial Priorities
Whether you know it or not, you are always setting your financial priorities. Some may decide that a new stereo system is more important than this month's electric bill. This may be a little off the wall but it is still setting your priorities.Anyone wanting to better manage their money would be wise todetermine what their financial priorities are and stick to them.Of course, if you see that these priorities will not put food onthe table and pay your bills then you will have to rethink your priorities.Setting your priorities is simple. You just decide what is the most important aspect of your finances and put that item on top. However, if you decide on that stereo over your electric bill, you may find yourself in the dark with no need for a stereo.There are basic priorities that pertains to everyone.
These aresimply a matter of survival. Here is a list of the basics:WaterFoodShelterThat was a tough one. What does it take to ensure that our basic needs are met? The main ingredient is a source of income to pay the rent or house payment, pay the utilities, and buy the groceries. This is whereyou start setting your priorities.Before you can spend another penny, you have to take care of what you need to survive. Don't put off the rent or house payment, utilities and don't skimp on your groceries and necessary health items.
If you do you will start experiencing money problems much sooner than you would if you had delayed paying other bills instead.What's next? If your source of income happens to come from a job, then I would say your transportation. You have to get backand forth to work so you can afford all of the other stuff. This would include your vehicle payment, gas, insurance and maintenance. If your source of income is not a job then go to the next step.And Now? Naturally, this would be your other bills. You can even split this category a little further.
First, you have your bills that are secured by property. You should always pay these bills first. Secondly, your unsecured bills which are probably credit cards.The reason you should always pay your secured bills first is that it is much more likely that they can take the secured property and probably will unless payment is made. While creditcards companies are notorious for their threats, they very seldom follow through. I'm not saying not to pay them, just that they aren't as high a priority as your secured bills.Next would be your savings.
I really to hate to list savings asyour last priority because having a savings can prevent the use of those dreaded credit cards and help in so many ways. If you have the money to cover all of your other priorities then you should always put savings at the top of the list. However, if you don't have enough money to cover your bills and expenses then your savings will have to be the first to go.Just to recap. The below list is an example of what your financial priorities should look like:1. Groceries and Necessary Health Items2.
Housing (Rent or House Payment)3. Utilities4. Transportation5. Secured Bills6. Unsecured Bills7.
SavingsLet's hope that you never get in the position to have to decidewhich of the above list will have to wait. But if you do, following the above priorities is absolutely necessary to ensureyour survival..

Volkswagen Touran Hymotion: Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle Plus Top Rate VW Replacement Parts
Automakers know that rising oil prices and tougher environmental rules will increase the public's interest in vehicles that use less fuel with reduced tail pipe emissions.Hybrids increase fuel efficiency by capturing the energy normally lost to friction braking and storing it in a battery for later use when driving power is again required. Unlike internal combustion engine hybrids, Volkswagen's hydrogen fuel cell hybrid emits only water.The VW Touran Hymotion has high-torque electric motor that draws its power from a fuel cell and is absolutely emission free. The standard version, driven by petrol and diesel engines, which are as agile as they are economical, is by far the most successful van available in Germany.

Parallel Path Electromagnetic Motors -- A Revolution in Motion?
OSEN (ContentDesk via ContentDesk Direct) February 21, 2006 -- Joe Flynn from Flynn Research is working on a new technology called "Parallel Path" with Boeing Phantom Works. The technology claims to be able to increase magnet motor efficiency substantially, even over the 100% barrier. They have received a US Patent. At Flynn Research, Parallel Path electromagnetism is explained as a method of controlling and directing magnetic flux within the core of a motor to provide an exponentially greater motive force than conventional motors. From their technical brief about the technology, Parallel Path could very well usher in a new age of powerful and highly-efficient electric motors.The venerable electric motor operates on well-understood principles.
A stator contains a coil that when energized with alternating current, generates a magnetic force which in turn acts on a rotor to produce motive force. Electric motors can turn the blades of...
